Is Michael Mann Finished? [Updated]

Climate alarmist Michael Mann was for quite a few years the go-to “climate scientist” in the left-wing press. But the Associated Press’s sub silentio deletion of Mann from its story on the Trump administration’s revocation of the Obama administration’s CO2 endangerment finding suggests that Mann may have lost that status. The Associated Press is, of course, on the Democratic Party’s team on this issue. They are wrong, but that isn’t the point here. The AP’s story is titled “Trump set to gut U.S. climate change policy and environmental regulations: White House official.” It begins: The Trump administration is expected this week to revoke a scientific finding that long has been

Michael Mann, Agore, Bill Nye and so many more have been science grifters supported by politicial, financial, technological, industrial and media grifters. Many, many unscrupulous people in various fields have become wealthy and/or forced their ideologies upon us using FEAR - New Ice Age!! Anthropomorphic Global Warming! Climate Change! Climate Catastrophe!! Follow the "Climate Science" and you will likely stumble upon money and power.

Michael Mann should be in prison for fabricating science and peddling it as facts. Worse, he sued anyone who questioned his slop. Even worse, government policies worldwide were enforced on his fraudulent findings. Hundreds of billions if not trillions were spent, reputations and lives ruined because of this fraudster.

We can certainly hope so. He's a liar, a fraud and has been proven to be those in court. As to the National Academy of Sciences.....they have now proven themselves to be liars and frauds, too. FTA, quote from NAS. "“The evidence for current and future harm to human health and welfare created by human-caused greenhouse gases is beyond scientific dispute,” the panel said." Lies, no matter how often repeated are still lies. And the fact that the liars have taken over the leadership of the NAS, doesn't change them from liars to truth tellers, it just makes them "liars in charge". The climate is very, very slightly, and very, very slowly changing, AS IT HAS FOREVER. 10,000 years ago there was a mile thick ice sheet from Nebraska to the North Pole. I've been to Nebraska and north and there are no traces of that ice sheet save for the mountain valleys that it carved over the centuries. THAT is real climate change, on a global scale and completely independent of ANYTHING humans did then, or now. Human activities have no impact on global climate. It does what it does, and we are passengers on this rock subject to the whims of planetary tilt, orbital mechanics and the wobble of our sun. My SUV or that coal fired power plant have zero effect on things.

Ignorant or malicious "scientists" can all go find some foreign country to pester. For all of Earth's history the climate has always been changing. For all of human history this changing has been a threat and a challenge, or sometimes beneficial, sometime both at the same time. So we must be pretty good at doing nothing to stop it and just adapting to it. We're better at adapting now. No worries.

Go Trump, Go! The myth of the so-called greenhouse gas effect underpinned the fraudulent war on carbon emissions that gave us the electric car disaster, the war on coal, oil and natgas as fuels, the war on natgas fueled appliances, sky-high electric bills, and so many other sacred environmental cows of the left that are 100% abject failures. Anyone still supporting that nonsense, including former POTUS BHO, needs some remedial science education...because they clearly didn't learn it when they should have.

Once the courts label you a liar, it doesn't play well and other "climate experts" are a dime a dozen. Mann's "crime" is that he got caught lying.

The author of the 'hockey stick' climate model. Michael Mann was an influencer before it was an actual thing. Take an occupation that people trust, like a scientist, and use it to shape public opinion. They can lie and get away with it because people trust them.

All good previous comments! Humans activity is warming the earth to the same extent that a child tossing a rock into the ocean causes sea levels to rise. The basic scientific method is to propose a hypothesis, then run an experiment to see if the hypothesis is correct, then publish the study.... publish the hypothesis, the methods, the materials, the equipment, the data, the discussion, and the conclusion, proving or disproving the hypothesis. Other people working in the same field then replicate the experiment, and the more that people obtain consistent results, the certainty grows that the hypothesis is proven- or disproven, one way or the other. However, if other people's experiments yield different results, then more people do the experiment and investigate why some people got one result and others the different result. This continues until it is generally figured out and accepted as to what is going on. In this manner the field of scientific knowledge advances. If I recall correctly, Mann published his HOCKEY STICK temperature graph to much ballyhoo and fanfare in the Lamestreams. GLOBAL WARMING! We're KILLING THE EARTH! Mann refused to release his data, refused to release his methods and refused to release his calculations, and so NO-ONE was able to try to replicate his study. This is a gross violation of the basic scientific process. Instead, Mann jumped straight to his conclusion, and -as it was what the power-grabbing Politicians and their lackey in the Lamestreams wanted, they declared it THE TRUTH! Facts be damned. As Mark Twain said, "A LIE travels around the World while the Truth is putting on it's shoes." And so it happened. Al 'ManBearPig' Gore told us "The Science is Settled"..... when true Science is NEVER 'settled', as there is always the chance that someone will come up with an experiment that disproves what was believed to be 'bedrock' fact. Many reputable scientists questioned Mann's results, they were discredited, dismissed from their research positions, and could not get their scientific papers published. (Gee, doesn't this sound like what happened to the doctors who questions the mRNA VAX?) A number of other reputable scientists tried to replicate Mann's 'Hockey Stick', but could not. If I recall, any program of calculations they devised to look at the temperature records and give a 'hockey stick' result, gave a 'Hockey Stick' result no matter WHAT data was fed into the program. What Mann presented was not Science.... it was Crooked Politics.... as usual. Think of all the Government Bureaucratic COST that we have paid as a result of that basic lie! Everywhere one looks, there is Government 'Environmental' regulation, and every bit of it comes at a COST!

The hucksters of Climate Fraud are legion, Con artists looking for the long con that gives them a perpetual sucker ATM that dispenses eternal cash. Riddle me this Michael Mann - how many $trillions in taxes, for how many centuries, will it take to reduce earth's temp by 1 degree? Hmmm? We have been gouged for $trillions already now, for 30 years, I don't feel any cooler, and the cooler is where we need to throw these bums.

A horrible tragedy occurred yesterday in Canada when a killer, later identified as a “trans identifying woman,” shot nine people to death and injured 27 others, before turning the gun on himself. The Canadian establishment has been desperate to hide the truth about the shooter, but this was not a secret the establishment could sit on. The shooting took place at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in tiny Tumbler Ridge, a remote rural community in British Columbia. The killer began by murdering two people at a home, then headed for the secondary school (grades 7-12), where he opened fire. Six people died on school grounds, and one died en route

Today must be my day for trashing Pravda. Already, I have trashed Peggy Noonan's lament for the Washington Post, and contrasted her fantastical idea of what the media's relationship to truth is with the fact that the Post lionizes Adam Schiff as a model Democrat who is trying to save democracy. Noonan writes for The Wall Street Journal, so I trashed it. The Washington Post is the "gold standard" for political coverage, and I trashed them. So next, I need to trash the New York Times to complete a trifecta. Jamelle Bouie gives me that opportunity, as it happens. He is a columnist for the Times and has been called

Global warming morphed into climate change so that liberals could complain about any inconvenient weather and blame it on free enterprise. Thus, we have the absurd situation where liberals claim that “climate change” causes both excessive heat and excessive cold, whichever happens to be occurring at the moment. This makes no sense. Saying that climate change causes warmer (or colder) weather is circular. It is like saying that my weight change caused me to get heavier. Blaming both heat and cold on climate change is like saying that my weight change caused me to get both heavier and lighter, at different times. In any event, it isn’t true. Both extreme heat

It's a question that I had not put too much thought into until recently, but in light of the revelations over the past year from DOGE, the current fraud investigations in Minnesota, Oregon, Maine, and California (and I hope that will soon expand to all 50 states), it really has struck me that a huge proportion of our economy is probably just money laudering. Of course, we all understood at some vague level that there had to be a large amount of money laundering going on. The illegal drug trade alone is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and that is just one portion of a large black market.

It is not momentous events that are the most meme-worthy. Rather, it is moments when liberals show their true colors and embarrass themselves, often in relatively trivial ways, that set meme-creators to work. This week, along with the ongoing fiasco in Minnesota, we had severel such events. The Washington Post, hemorrhaging losses, laid off a large portion of its staff, causing its newly-unemployed reporters to demonstrate outside the building. They marched in defense of the moral principle that Jeff Bezos is obliged to support them forever, no matter how much money they lose. I wonder whether some of the newly-laid-off demonstrators have been covering economics for the Post. Also, more Epstein documents

The Senate Minority Leader appeared on MSNOW's Morning Joe on Thursday to discuss the GOP-backed SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. What followed was the exemplification of political discomfort. Earlier in the week, CNN's chief analyst Harry Enten dropped some numbers that should make Democrats rethink their messaging on election security. Voter ID requirements enjoy overwhelming bipartisan support, with approval ratings consistently above 75% across demographics.

Ford announced significant financial losses for 2025 driven by its struggling electric vehicle division, with the automaker projecting continued losses in the segment for at least three more years. The New York Times reports that Ford Motor Company reported substantial financial losses this week, primarily attributed to its electric vehicle operations, as the automaker significantly restructures its EV strategy. The company’s electric vehicle division lost $4.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to lose between $4 billion and $4.5 billion in 2026, with profitability not expected until approximately 2029. The announcement marks a dramatic reversal for Ford, which several years ago positioned itself as a leader among traditional automakers by rapidly introducing
